As a counselor / therapist with well over 25,000 hours of hands-on experience, I see people for a large variety of problems, including:

• Anger and Impulse-Control Difficulties
• Conflicted Relationships (both Couples and Family)
• Low Self-Esteem and Self-Image Deficits
• Depression, Grief and Guilt
• Compulsive / Addictive Behaviors (Related to Substances, Activities or Relationships)
• Anxiety, Phobias and Panic Attacks
• Stress-Related Disturbances and Health Conditions
• Sexual Issues
• Career Impasses or Indecision
• Major Life Changes and Crises
• Chronic Problems, Emotional, Mental and/or Physical Resulting from Past Abuse /
• Trauma (Typically, through the Use of EMDR)

In general, I do everything possible to provide the people I work with a safe place to:

• Work through uncomfortable thoughts and feelings
• Develop useful insights about themselves and others
• Discover new and more effective ways of self-expression, communication and problem solving

Ultimately, my aim is to help other achieve a state of well-being, inner contentment, or peace of mind that has eluded them. And, as a committed professional, working collaboratively with clients to assist them in achieving their goals is especially gratifying to me. Many years ago I published a book for mental health professionals on difficult-to-use therapeutic techniques (Paradoxical Strategies in Psychotherapy). At present, I "post" regularly for Psychology Today's renowned blogsite on personal / interpersonal issues common to us all.
